Talk:Bronto

Greek provenance

The prefix bronto-, from the ISV (originally from Ancient Greek), means "thunder". In modern American English (and International Internet English), bronto- means something like "very big" or "very many" (an extremely large quantity or magnitude), based on the association with the brontosaurus dinosaur, which was very large.

The most common instance of this is the formation of the computer term brontobyte, which is variously defined as being 10¹⁵, 10²¹, 10²⁴, or 10²⁷.Shanoman (talk) 21:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
